|Excerpt from The World of Dorian Gray|
[_feature_creep_team_ / 10.17.2022]

_A contemporary retelling of the final chapter of Oscar Wilde's classic macabre tale, The Picture of Dorian Gray. In the original work, a young man is gifted a portrait of himself; one which ages in his stead, and which bears the physical signs of his debauched and excessive lifestyle. In this retelling, we see not the individual degradations of such a life, but instead their impact on the world at large. Read on to witness the horrors that are wrought upon our once pristine globe by the machinations of the wealthy and the beautiful.


|Digital Landfill|
[Lingxiang Wu / 10.10.2022]

_Wu’s inclusion to the archive is an ongoing interactive online work which seeks to retaliate against the “aesthetic of the smooth,” the dominant aesthetic (and methodology) of the contemporary internet. It does so by creating a uniquely digital landscape, populated with all of the jagged edges and refuse that neoliberal capital seeks to remove from the net, in order to perfect it as a conduit for maximal social and monetary gain. The vistas which Wu gives form to are simultaneously alien and all too familiar, and seek to lead the viewer on an exploration away from the digital-as-consumption.



|Strange Biomes:X
XLingxiang Wu's Digital Landfill|
[_feature_creep_team_ / 10.10.2022]

_A written response to Lingxiang Wu's Digital Landfill, which explores both the liberating potentials and alien threats of Wu's ongoing interactive work.


|Oxidized Macbook|
[Michelle Cieloszczyk / 10.03.2022]

|Material Thinking on Material Excess:X
XMichelle Cieloszczyk’s Oxidized Macbook|
[Adrienne Scott / 10.03.2022]
